You must remember that we in the UK do not have a Mother Divine course. Our aristocracy is keen to rehabilitate fallen women and will rarely miss a chance to inject firm support where necessary to achieve the benefits of trickle down, so beloved of your president' defence thinking, I am told. But I don't think you should wager your internal organs on the "johns" issue, Turquoise. Expertise in the fields of the most exotic spiritual scriptures and also pre-Victorian lavatorial plumbing, Turquoise? Truly you are a "Renaissance Man" ! Uns. ------------------------ Yahoo!
